Daredevil Quotes

Matt Murdock: Last time we spoke, I confronted Father Lantom. I was angry. I’d change that if I could.

Sister Maggie: If God allowed that, there’d be no future. Just people endlessly rewriting the past.

Matt Murdock: Yeah. I think he was trying to tell me that for a long time. His last words were, “Forgive us.”

Sister Maggie: Do you think that’s possible?

Matt Murdock: He told me something, years ago, when this happened, that I never forgot. See, I was pretty angry at God and bitter towards his world. How could a loving God blind me? Why? Anyway, he told me… God’s plan is like a beautiful tapestry. And the tragedy of being human is that we only get to see it from the back. With all the ragged threads and the muddy colors. And we only get a hint at the true beauty that would be revealed if we could see the whole pattern on the other side… as God does. Anyway, I’ve been thinking a lot about it recently, ’cause… I realize I’ve made some bad choices and hurt people that I love without meaning to.

Sister Maggie: You don’t always know when you start down a false path.

Matt Murdock: No, you don’t. And that’s my point. I realize that if my life had turned out any differently, that I would never have become Daredevil. And although people have died on my watch, people who shouldn’t have, there are countless others that have lived. So, maybe it is all part of God’s plan. Maybe my life has been exactly as it had to be.

Sister Maggie: You have a generous heart, Matthew. To see the good in so much pain.

Matt Murdock: Not always. In fact, Father Lantom used to help me with that. Help me see the errors of my ways. I could use someone else to help me with that now… once in a while.

Sister Maggie: I’m a nun, Matthew. Helping is what I was called to do.
